AQA - A-Level Computer Science (Text Adventure) (Short Mock Paper 1)

(1)
The first in the series of mock exam papers designed around AQA A-Level Computer Science pre-release material Text Adventure. This mock exam paper is designed to be sat in a 45 minute period and give students an initial practice with the pre-release skeleton code for 2019 paper 1 series. There is a mark scheme that contains sample code in C# (hopefully this can be easily adapted to other programming languages).

Compilers, Interpreters, Assemblers (Language Translators)

(1)
This set of resources is designed for one lesson in which students will learn the differences between how Compilers and Interpreters work. This is designed as an interactive lesson to take the pressure off the tutor in delivering this topic. This topic is useful for both GCSE Computer Science and designed specifically for A-Level Computer Science with the AQA specification in mind.

NEA - Initial Project Proposal / Ideas

(0)
Letters given to all Computer Science students with a range of project ideas to help them decide on an idea of their own. Once an idea is chosen further work is completed using the project proposal in order to propose their final idea. Used for AQA Computer Science A-Level

Functional Programming (A-Level Computer Science)

(0)
A set of commands to use with an online Haskell program https://ghc.io/ in order for students to develop their understanding of Haskell for A-Level Computer Science AQA specification. The resource has commands that will take students 30 minutes to play with and develop their understanding of by trying variations of these. Accompanies are some sample exam questions that have been made up based on the specification and also a different take on some of the specimen questions. Answers are included.
